And the cap angle is overblown. Teams know how to manage the annual spending limit, and that will get easier and easier as the annual spending limit shoots higher and higher, given the huge increases in broadcasting rights and gambling revenue.
Whoever wrote this article is just wrong.
Teams may "know how to handle the cap" but facts prove that it includes cutting players and replacing them with cheaper players. All you have to do is pay attention to free agency every year. There are always guys who are released for cap reasons.
Any team can push payday down the road, but they can't make it disappear.
If we had a core of older players and the window was closing I'd be more likely to sacrifice the future for one shot at a Super Bowl. It worked for the Rams this year. But look at the Bronco fans. They won a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning 7 years ago but have not been back to the playoffs since. This was their 5th straight losing season.
